Asheville West KOA

Considering the actual square footage of this KOA, there was a lot of unused space. Which for a KOA was strange. There were two open fields so maybe they plan to expand. 
There was a trail that meandered through the park which was nice, though steep and slippery in a few places, be careful.

This is a very “strategically” located KOA. SO much to do in this area. Bring your mountain bike, hiking boots and drinking cup. Bakeries, Orchards, breweries, mountains, waterfalls and bike trails just to name a few things ;)

The campground is near I-40 but I didn’t even notice it when I was in my van, sorta white noise. I was in the back loop so maybe the front area gets more noise from the interstate. 

There is a dog park and maybe I’m dog fickle but it’s a smaller park in a huge grass field....why not make the dog park bigger?? 

The sites in a straight line are close, the ones in the curve have more room. 
There’s a shower house in the back loop which is new and well maintained. Strange too was the dump site in the back loop, I didn’t see one in the front area. 


Smaller large KOA

We spent three nights here while in town for GeoWoodstock. It was an ideal location since it was between downtown Asheville and Waynesville which is where we split our time. The staff was friendly. The drinks for sale at the office were super cold and the prices reasonable. They had the basics like drinks, stuff for s'mores, ice, firewood, etc. The pool seemes nice, but we didn't use it. There is a game room that houses some board games and puzzles, but no arcade games. It is open 24/7 so you can stay until you finish a puzzle. There is an outdoor room with a ladders game and a big Connect Four game. They also have a small playground kind of away from the campsites. There are hiking trails which we did not step foot on due to lack of time/laziness/other activities. The free wi-fi was spotty, but correcting that is on their list of upcoming projects. The bathrooms were clean and pretty decent. There are bathroom doors marked for men and for women, but they are in the same building with no other separation. This did not seem to be an issue. The shower doors had good locks on them. There is a "security guard" that rides around with his dog keeping an eye on things, and selling firewood, which was actually quite convenient. There is an outdoor sink on a cement platform with a roof that is convenient for rinsing dishes and such. It is a double sink with hot and cold water on the outside of the bathhouse. A feature I was pleased with was the recycling bins. They would also pick up your trash if you left it out in a tied up garbage bag which I thought was nice. Our site was near a trash bin so we did not partake of that service. Overall it is a decent place and should be even nicer as they work on marking things off their project list.

Good location with some nice features.

Other than rain almost every day, we enjoyed this spot while checking out Asheville and Biltmore Estate. The campground is very wooded, allowing for shady space. The showers were decently clean. Garbage is picked up at your site, or you can recycle next to the shower house which is not located far for the back section, which we were in, with full hookups. We enjoyed the trail through the woods that circles the whole campground. Our dog enjoyed the dog park. There is a pool and camp store. 

Nice stay.

We enjoyed this ½ way to the beach stop for the night. Had pull through site. Only drawback was the smell in the morning from the paper mill.. 

Great overnight.. headed to the beach.

The Asheville KOA is very pet and RV friendly. There are a number of walking trails of easy to moderate difficulty that run throughout the property. The dog park is a great place to let the pups off of the leashes for a bit. Staff pickup trash daily between 10-11AM at your site, but dumpsters are easily accessible.

  

We camped here in our 22' travel trailer. The back in sites are mostly level with a mix of dirt and gravel. If you're looking for a sunny spot, request one of the even-numbered back-ins. If you would prefer to be mostly in the shade, go for an odd-numbered spot. 20/30/50 amp electric, cable, water and sewer were easily accessible at each site. Camp sites are not very large, so be mindful of volume and lights with respect to your neighbors.

Far enough away to feel like camping and still close to the city

This is the smallest KOA we’ve been to by far, in our travels. When we got there the site was crazy unleveled, but after using all my leveling blocks, we made it work. The o let other 2 negative things was it’s the road noice and the smell of the paper mill in the morning. Other than that, is place was really pretty cool. We camped down on the lower level and had water and power, no sewer, which isn’t a huge deal, but still. Our site backed up to a little wooded area and we get like we were actually in a state park, not an rv park. The playground was a little too small for my kids, but they’ve got a bunch of little trails throughout the site with fairy doors at the base of some trees and a Groot!!! David, the grounds guy there, was great and had a ton of suggestions for where we could go to explore. You’re about 15 minutes from Asheville at this place, and there’s tons of things to do in town....breweries, nature centers, and the biltmore to name a few! 

At first I was worried, but it turned out great

I have been to several KOA campgrounds, and compared to other KOAs, I am a bit disappointed in this one. It has all the facilities you need, but the sites where I was were gravel and had minimal amounts of shade. Although shade is not a“make or break” situation, the sites themselves made me skeptical about staying at this campground in the future. The sites were not all that spacious and there was not a whole lot of privacy. 

  

One redeeming factor for this campground is that it does have a rather long trail through the woods, even if there were too many flying bugs throughout. Additionally, you will hear traffic—lots of traffic. The campground has a large swimming pool, a rec room, and a playground, and it is conveniently located close to Asheville, which is a mecca for things to do. 

  

When you come to this campground, make sure to bring your ear plugs. As I stated earlier, there is a LOT of traffic noise coming from Interstate 40. Even in a teardrop camper, you cannot avoid the sounds of traffic. 

  

This KOA is okay as a campground if you are passing through or if you are just staying the night in a well-insulated camper to go visit other places during the day. I recommend this campground only with reservations about the noise and if you are staying in a tent.

Campground Convenient to Asheville and Mountains

This Journey is nice being off the Highway. These sites are larger and spaced out for a KoA. I just wish someone would have helped us find our site and help us back in like at some other Koas. Bathrooms were clean, just alittle buggy but it is camping after all! 

Convenient off Highway 

Sites are a little tight and getting level can be tough. It's on the side of a mountain, so it's too be expected. Lots of highway noise. Right next to I-40 and on a grade. You will hear Jake brakes and trucks hitting rumble strips. Owners are great as are most of their hosts. Very clean bath houses. 

Not bad for a quick stay.

Friendly staff, they grind their own coffee, pretty grounds, very clean bathrooms and private showers. They had lots of activities scheduled for the kids. They drove by in the early evening in a golf cart offering hot chocolate and the money went to Care Camps for Kids. I believe they also have an ice cream cart goes by all the sites. Lots of things to do and close to the sights of Asheville. 

  

Laundry facility was good. Wifi was good but we didn’t hook up our cable that night but I didn’t hear any complaints from other campers. There was a dumpster for trash but you could also leave a bag at the front of your campsite in the morning and they would pick it up.

  

We only had two issues, neither of which would prevent us from staying again. The space we were in was right next to the on site owner or manager so we had a view of their wooden fence and there was what appeared to be an “abandoned” Class B on the other side of us. I’m sure it wasn’t abandoned but we were there 3 days and we never saw anyone and the widows were blocked up and wooden pallets were stored under the back of the vehicle.

  

Staff was super helpful, friendly and communicative. They ready did want you to tell them if there was anything you didn’t like. We would highly recommend.

Nice grounds, private showers, well stocked store

I stopped to pitch my tent, sleep, and move on. I was there about nine hours. Extremely clean facility. By far the cleanest campground bathroom and showers I have ever seen. Only complaint would be the interstate noise was insane. I woke up constantly to semi trucks using their engine brakes. I ended up leaving around 5:30am because I couldn't sleep.
